Pre-Vet Program

The Medical Poland Veterinary Preparatory Program (Pre-Vet)  is a response to feedback from students and academics with regards to the will to increase the levels of knowledge in biology, chemistry and physics to prepare students, help them succeed and make the most out of their veterinary program. Due to the differences between programs in secondary schools in Poland and other countries, some of the accepted vet students face challenges due to limited knowledge of the basics of biology, chemistry, and physics. Please bear in mind that knowledge of those sciences will be essential for your success in the first two years of your VET program and to other preclinical and clinical subjects which are taught during the veterinary program.

The Pre-Vet program provided on the Mastering Pearson platform is designed to lead through the most relevant areas revising (and in some cases introducing) areas one needs to learn to be well prepared for the academic year and is essential for success in the first two years of the Veterinary program.

Recommendation from prof. Kubiak
(Dean of the Faculty of
Veterinary Medicine, WUELS)

We hereby recommend to all our candidates from Ireland and UK the pre-course organized by Medical Poland. This pre-course is prepared by leading specialists and teachers from Polish medical universities and includes all issues which are required by our Faculty from candidates to Veterinary Medicine at Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences. Due to the differences between programs in secondary schools in Poland and other countries (especially Ireland and the UK), some of the students face challenges due to limited knowledge of basic biology, chemistry and physics. These basic subjects are essential to other preclinical and clinical subjects which are taught during veterinary medicine programme. A good basis will facilitate further studying and, thanks to a better knowledge from basic sciences, every candidate will be able to feel more self confident at the beginning of the study.

Recommendation
from the student

The Pre-Veterinary course is an amazing opportunity to prepare for the Veterinary course at the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, as students usually find these subjects the most difficult when starting their university degree program. These are vital for one's basic knowledge in the pre-clinical years (1st and 2nd year).
Due to the different levels of secondary education, and the differences in curricula between countries, this is a great way to become more familiar with the topics that will be covered in detail at the university. For example, extended biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and biophysics are included. Once the actual degree program starts, it is difficult to catch up with the basics.
It is also, in my opinion, as an incoming 3rd-year student at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Wroclaw, extremely useful in preparing and boosting your confidence in MCQ (multiple choice question) style exams and tests. As you will be facing biophysics, biochemistry, biology and genetics in the 1st year of your studies, you will have full access to Pearson textbooks, videos, and other materials once you sign in, with access being open for 18 months. As I am aware, for the first month of the pre-course you will also be supported by academic tutors with possibilities of asking questions as well as receiving additional tasks when needed.

I wholeheartedly recommend taking part in this course - see you at the university in October :) Sadhbh
